I think we have hot-fixed the last remaining Castor issues with the reboot last night. That reboot was for code updating many agent missions and bringing back scenario NPC infestations. Scenarios like "The Training Grounds" and "Golgothan Fields" should have NPCs again. We already have the prepped the next update and it's currently running on Chaos, that update should be the end of all grid-exploits in EVE.

We have put together an optional TQ patch. It most importantly fixes the mining drone CTD. http://patch.eve-online.com/evepatch1352-1360.exe I also fixes a slew of other issues. Firing at Mining Drone no longer causes a crash to desktop Bookmark folder structure should function correctly There are new columns in the scanner: size, speed, transversal speed and radial speed T2 splash screen As changing speed during warp is no longer valid, the UI doesn't attempt it, thus the speed meter state is a...

We are gathering together what Castor is in a web page. This page will be used, among other things, to notify players that have left EVE, that things have changed. As you the players see things often differently than us, I would like your comments on this listing.

There was an unscheduled downtime for couple of hours. We were hotfixing Tranquility which should take care of the following issues: Agents dishing out bonuses like candy + mission completion ending in error. Imbalanced standing loss for mission failure. Trash Item not trashing. A lot of other stuff was fixed as well.

There were some fixed deployed during downtime to some items but there are still a couple of known issues that are being worked on. I'll try to keep you updated when more is known in the next couple of days. Agents are in some instances not giving rewards, not giving necessary items to complete and sometimes reseting the mission.

For this update we wanted to be extra careful as possible as the size of it is more than anything done before. Once all the database upgrading was done (several passes over more than 50 GB of data) we started the servers in a way that only we here at CCP and Customer support at Síminn could connect. We wanted to do this to do a dry run of the various systems that were affected by the update.

There is a problem with autopatching in 1238. As there are a lot of eve players that don't frequent the eve site, forum, news, blog, fansites, etc. we need your help with alerting these players to go and manually patch from 1.10.1238 to 1.11.1352 All that is needed is to go to this page and press the relevant 1238 patch and run it. All other version of EVE should autopatch correctly.

There is a feature in the game which allows you to withdraw isk from youe wallet and turn it into an item. I wanted to know if you are using this feature for any meta gameplay you guys are so apt at inventing :).

Most of you have probably experienced the case where you initiate warp too close to a station or a large asteroid, watching your ship move at tectonical-drift-rate speeds as it aligns its course with the warp destination. We have released a server side patch to Tranquillity which allows you select "Stop My Ship" from the context menu to exit the warp phase. BTW I don't think I have recommended patch 1254 enough.

Finally after many sleepless nights we have released the new web site. We had to hold back a few sections which will be added in coming days. Also given the size of the update this time, there is a chance that there are some snags here and there, please be patient while we clean them all up Hope you like it.
